USER’S MANUAL
1.3 Server Architecture
The server’s major component is the motherboard. This section gives short
descriptions of the main board as well as the other components: the front access
panel, server management board, SCSI controller, signal interface board, and PCI-X
riser board. Figure 4 is a block diagram of the server’s electrical components.
1.3.1 Main Board
The main board is the central hub for the A2210 platform on which most major
system devices reside and to which all peripheral boards connect.
1.3.2 Front Access Panel Board
The front access panel board is positioned at the front of the A2210 platform. It
serves the following purposes:
Transfers power from the silver box power supply to the main board•
•
•
•
•
Provides UDMA 133 EIDE connectivity
Provides Ultra320 hot swap SCSI connectivity
Provides A2210 server status LEDs
Provides connectivity for up to ten 3-pin fans
1.3.3 Server Management Board
The server management board supports the server management functions for the
platform. It is designed on a mezzanine board in order to increase board real estate
on the main board. Also, by organizing the server management functions on a
mezzanine board, a motherboard designer can easily implement an alternate
baseboard management controller.
1.3.4 Dual-Channel SCSI Controller Board
The dual channel SCSI controller board is a daughter card to the main board. This
card connects to the main board through a 100MHz PCI-X bus and uses a dual
SCSI controller to provide two independent ULTRA320 SCSI channels, via SCSI
channel A and SCSI channel B.
1.3.5 Signal Interface Board
All signals used by the front access panel board are routed through the signal
interface board.
1-6

USER’S MANUAL
1.3.6 PCI-X Riser Board
The PCI-X riser board allows the A2210 to have connectivity for two full length 64-
bit, 100MHz PCI-X cards.

USER’S MANUAL
1.4 External Connectivity
The majority of the external connections are through the I/O panel in the back of the
chassis. The connectors include the PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors, the serial
port, the two USB ports, the SCSI connector, and the Ethernet ports. The following
sections explain these connectors.
1.4.1 PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse Connector
The PS/2 keyboard and mouse each use a right angle mini-DIN connector with
PC’99 standard coloring (violet for keyboard and light green for mouse).
Keyboard Connector
Once the keyboard data is identified as either system-specific or application-
specific, it is processed accordingly. When the operating system is notified that
there is data from the keyboard, the operating system checks to see if the keyboard
data is a system-level command. If the keyboard data is not a system-level
command, the operating system passes the data on to the current application. The
current application understands the keyboard data as an application-level command
and either accepts the data as content for the application or does not accept the data,
ignoring the information.
PS2 Mouse Connector
The data is sent serially on the data line from the mouse to the computer. The clock
line pulses to notify the system where each bit starts and stops. Eleven bits are sent
for each byte (one start bit, eight data bits, one parity bit, and one stop bit). The PS/2
mouse sends on the order of 1,200 bps, allowing it to report mouse position to the
computer at a maximum rate of about 40 reports per second.
1.4.2 Serial Port
There is a single 9-pin subminiature-D serial port (COM 1) on the front panel. This
port is designed to allow for wake-up commands from an external source such as a
modem.
1.4.3 USB Ports
A OHCI-based USB 1.1 controller exists within the AMD-8111 I/O hub. This
controller and its implementation on the main board meet the respective
specification design guidelines.
The following are features of the USB ports used on the A2210 server:
Single USB 1.1 port is mounted on the back panel I/O and routed to the
AMD-8111 I/O hub.
•
•Single USB 1.1 port is mounted on the front access panel board for front
access and routed to the AMD-8111 I/O Hub.
1-8

USER’S MANUAL
Over-current protection is implemented individually for each of the two OHCI
controllers inside AMD-8111 I/O hub.
1.4.4 External SCSI
There is a single VHDCI connector on the back panel. This connector is designed to
allow for external connectivity to the Dual-Channel LSI53C1030 Ultra320 SCSI
controller.
1.4.5 Ethernet
There are three RJ45 ports available on the back panel as follows:
Two RJ45 connectors allow for external 10/100/1000 Ethernet connectivity
to the Dual-Channel Broadcom BCM5704 Gigabit Ethernet Controller.
•
•One RJ45 connector allows for external 10-BaseT Ethernet connectivity to
the Qlogic ZirconUL Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) located on
the server management board.
1.5 Internal Connectivity
Internal connectivity includes all interfaces internal to the chassis that provide
connection to other devices internal or external to the chassis that are part of the
A2210 server feature set. These interfaces include EIDE and floppy storage devices,
front panel connections, and other miscellaneous connectors.
1.5.1 Mass Storage
The following sections describe different types of mass storage.
Internal SCSI
There is one internal 68-pin, vertically mounted SCSI connector located on dual-
channel SCSI Controller Board. This connector is used to cable the Ultra320
capable SCSI bus to the Front Access Panel Board. This enables a Guardian
Enclosure Management (GEM) 318P controller and two hot-plug SCSI connectors
that are accessible in the front of the chassis.
EIDE
EIDE is an enhanced IDE controller, implemented through the AMD-8111 I/O hub,
with independent primary and secondary ports that support two devices, and both
ports are included. Supported protocols include PIO modes 0 through 4, multi word
DMA, and ultra-DMA modes through ATA-133 for each device.
The A2210 server contains two on-board (2x20) standard IDE peripheral
connectors.
1-9

USER’S MANUAL
The A2210 server contains two methods implemented for cable type detection. The
two different cable types (40 or 80 conductor) dictate the overall transfer rate ability
of the host or bus. Transfer rates greater than Ultra DMA 2 require an 80-conductor
cable.
Miscellaneous
The miscellaneous connectors that are used internal to the chassis include:
Ten 3-pin fan headers that provide rotation sense feedback. All headers are
for the system fans that are located between the front access panel board and
the main board. Default condition has them operated at a full on with the
ability to detect a fan failure and report this to the server management board.
•
•
•
Two supplemental 3-pin fan headers near the processors that provide
rotation sense feedback for lab purposes.
One 132-pin ATX power supply connector, supplying 500W power to the
main board and other system devices.

USER’S MANUAL
2.2 Before Powering On the System
Prior to applying power to the server for the first time, please perform the
following procedures.
2.2.1 Inspect the Server
Open the chassis and perform a visual inspection. Remove the cover lock down
screws located on the rear of the chassis. Once the screws are removed, the
cover easily slides back by applying gentle pressure toward the back of the unit.
Then lift the cover from the chassis. Verify that all cables, processors, memory
cards, and I/O cards are properly seated and fully engaged. Then replace the
cover or add additional hardware.
2.2.2 Install Slide Rails
The server is shipped without the chassis slide rails installed.
1. To mount a rail, the rail must first be disassembled. Each rail consists of
three telescoping beams. Separate the smallest beam (with keyhole slots),
as shown in Figure 5, from the other two by extending the beams and
releasing the retainer latch while pulling the beams apart. The smallest
beam slides free of the main assembly (note the orientation of the beams and
keep the slide chassis members with the original outer members).
Smallest Beam
Figure 5 – Smallest Beam in Chassis Slide Rail
2. Line up the keyhole slots on the beam with the lugs on the side of the
chassis and fully engage the beam on the lugs. The beam must be oriented
such that the slide compression stop tab (closes off the groove on one end) is
toward the front of the unit. See Figure 6. Using the enclosed screw, secure
the beam to the chassis, as shown in Figure 7.
